Never ceases to amaze me how gullible people are. Or maybe they aren't gullible maybe they just enjoy continuing the hate and spreading the bullshit. 

Social Media, is great, it can be truly awesome, but (yes folks there is always a but lol), it's also filled with hate and lies. It doesn't take much to see through the lies, a Google search, or even just common sense. That so called fact someone copied from a Government website, that is full of grammar errors and spelling mistakes?, that is not the truth. The letter a friends friends brothers friends cousin, they are sharing, is also not a fact. Don't be so damn gullible, take the time to research before you post something that is total bullshit, be responsible. And don't then defend it, you look like more of a fool when you do. 

Everyone gets up in arms over bullying, and rightly so it's disgusting. People rally and protest over the murderer who gets a lenient sentence, again rightly so. But those same people then go onto Social Media, and bully. Yep, that's what I said they bully. By posting a lie, by spreading it around, even to your small circle of friends, you are being a bully. Posting a picture of violence that is purported to be something it actually isn't, plastering someones face on line, that is all a form of bullying. You are doing exactly what a bully in a school does, picking on the weak and innocent. The police and attorneys, are the ones who build the cases against criminals, not you. For all you know that face you are spreading around gleefully, is innocent. Or you could be putting a crimp in the investigation. Sure spread around the Amber Alerts or news reports, but don't spread something around just because you see it shared on someone else's page, check your facts first. 

Don't get me wrong, I love Social Media. I love playing games on line, I love getting to know people from all over the world. But everyday I'm inundated with bullshit lol. While I get to know a lot of people, it's opened my eyes to just how gullible people can really be, and I'm absolutely gob smacked by their justifications surrounding their sharing of something so stupid a 3 year old would know it was bullshit. 

I don't claim to be the most intelligent person in the world, nor do I claim to know everything. But what I do know is that not everything I read on line is true. All the posts about some actor or singer going to share their wealth if you share their post, seriously? why the hell would you believe that, why the hell would they do that? It's such an obvious lie. And what about all the posts share with an amen if you want to help this baby blah blah. Seriously? How the hell would that help anyone? It doesn't, and it's a lie, been proven a lie time and time again. It's like the old chain letters that used to go around, if you break this chain etc, bullshit. I broke that damn chain and danced on it's remains lol. While you are sharing this supposed heartbreaking picture and story, the person who created and photo shopped it, is laughing maniacally and calling out "Suckered another one." from the basement they live in at their parents house. What they are really doing is spreading their evil tentacles around the world and loving it. Why would you want to help them do that? 

I have no doubt that there is some stories that are true, but do some research before sharing. I don't have an issue with anyone's beliefs or religion, I don't give a damn about their politics either, but I do have an issue with the sharing of what is obviously a lie. Use Social Media for the purpose it was meant to be for. Keep in contact with friends and family, play games, share jokes, post hilarious memes, or share your day. Don't use it to spread hate and lies, don't use it to spread blatant bullshit.
